Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 1 cup Pecans
- 1 cup Maple syrup
- 1 cup Coconut sugar
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 cup Dark dairy-free chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the almonds and pecans evenly on a baking sheet.
Step 2
Toast the nuts in the oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove and let them cool.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the maple syrup, coconut sugar, coconut milk, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir continuously until the mixture starts to boil.
Step 4
Keep boiling the mixture, stirring frequently, for about 12-15 minutes until it thickens and darkens in color. It should reach about 240°F (115°C) when checked with a candy thermometer – this is the 'soft ball' stage.
Step 5
Once the desired temperature is reached, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until completely melted and smooth.
Step 6
Finely chop the cooled toasted almonds and pecans, then stir them into the chocolate mixture.
Step 7
Allow the mixture to cool slightly until it thickens further but is still pourable.
Step 8
Line a muffin tin with paper liners and pour the praline mixture evenly into each liner, filling about halfway.
Step 9
Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and let the pralines set for at least an hour.
Step 10
Once set, remove the pralines from the tin and store them in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
